Possibly to get a bass sound that has an Egypt/Arab feel to it or

anyone know if its possible to get a egypt tone or atleast a tone that would fit well with Egypt style music on a bass??? Anyone got some ideas? Crazy or not Ive become very interested in Egypt themed Metal

Hmmm... I THINK I know what you mean by Egypt/Arab style metal... I'd say lower your action to get some clank, raise treble a lot and raise mids by a hair, and raise bass a little bit (raise it more than the mids). Hope this helps.

It's all about the scales. I think harmonic minor is the most "middle-eastern/egyptian" sounding one to me. Also, I'd go low action, but play up on the neck and maybe get an octaver for a real dub-like sound.

Check out Gogol Bordello. It's Gypsy Punk, which is not that similar to what you're doing, but the bass has an interesting dub "voice" and style over the rest of the band which is mostly ethnic and might give you an idea.

If you like computer games,play Prince Of Persia:Warrior Within. I hated the game first but that arabic/egyptian music...Amazing stuff and all written by the bassist from The Tea Party,Stuart Chatwood.
I found the O.S.T. and still listening to it although its been more than a year I finished the game!

I've thought a while before replying. I guess there is not set tone for this. Or any other genre. You should set it yourself. One important issue is the tone of the rest of the band. Keep the overlapping tones minimum.

I personally would go for a deep treble-less bass sound with precision bass.
